Website Speed is a critical element of running a successful website. A website with fast loading also has a direct impact on the overall performance of the website. Faster loading web page benefits from better user engagement, higher SEO rankings and much more.
To check your website speed is slow or fast, you can use one of the many free online tools out there designed to check website speed and give you a report of the website speed. I have narrowed it down these our recommended online tools to check the web speed:

Very useful for all skill levels. Reviews website performance, grades it, and tracks performance history so you can see how your website speed has changed. The Page Analysis tab gets into HTTP server response codes, and that’s helpful to understand how many HTTP requests a web page on your website makes.

One of the most popular online tools on the internet. GTmetrix analyzes how well your website loads, checking both PageSpeed and YSlow scores. And what’s really great on GTmetrix website that is it provide suggestions on how to improve the load time.

WebPagetest provides awesome features of allowing users to specify locations and browsers for the test. This feature allows for global websites as they target many different geographical regions, and also users in different parts of the world prefer different browsers.

Grades web pages on how they meet established high-performance guidelines. Yslow also summarizes the different components of the website and allows you to view the analysis, provide advice on how to improve your website speed. YSlow offers a Chrome extension to test the speed of websites.

Google’s very own tool. Google PageSpeed Insights also provide mobile web version and desktop web version recommendations.In my opinion, Google PageSpeed Insights is the best online tool because it is very easy and simple to use and the results are presented clearly. There is also a Chrome extension available, which allows assessment of any web page from the Developers Page Speed tab.
Understand that results may vary from online tool to online tool. This four online tool is completely normal since they have differing metrics and are using different places in the world to test the website speed.
